Miss Jenny and I do Aiken

Last Saturday, while One Way and I visited Columbia, Miss Jenny and I took an excursion to Aiken, horse capitol of South Carolina (with Camden nipping at its title). To me, it was home. So nice to see that other people walk around in jodphurs and half chaps while grabbing lunch – and so nice to see that no one looked at them sideways!

Our first stop was a tack store, since Miss Jenny has figured out that the only way to get me to shop is to make it horse related (very sneaky! But I'm on to you!). Haven't seen one of those in nearly six months so I picked up some needed provisions.

We tried to get some deals at a nearby thrift store, but it came up short.

After that, we went to a wonderful little restaurant and I ordered the best rueben I've had in quite some time! Very delicious.

While at an antique store (also, somewhat horse related since I'm not known for my antiquing prowess), we discovered a polo match playing just outside of town, and we promptly drove over to watch.


It was my and Miss Jenny's first polo match, and we learned quite a bit. But by far, Miss Jenny's favorite part of the afternoon out was embodying Julia Roberts' character in "Pretty Woman:"

One Way plays Harbortown

Dad got One Way a round at Harbortown this past weekend, and I seriously think I'll never hear the end of it. It was like setting a Twilight fan loose on the actor that play Edward.

He did really well and shot an 86. There were two or three holes where some mistakes were made, and then he could have shot in the low 80s or high 70s, but he was gracious about it and moved on.

It was his first time on a PGA course and he loved the challenge (despite the initial shock over the small greens).
